18. Add line “lock_retry:0” to %BSE%\lib\defaults\db_resource

5. Install porting set installed on live server, 6.1c.06.07 at time of writing.

6. Login to Baan to check that it works
7. Stop Baan and SQL Server
8. Change the name of the original files, move %BSE% (d:\baan) to %BSE%.orig (d:\baan.orig).
9. Copy to original database files e:\mssql\data\baandb.ldb to e:\mssql\data\baandb.ldb.orig, and
e:\mssql\data\baandb.mdb to e:\mssql\data\baandb.ldb.orig
10. Continue with “How to Refresh the Test environment”
How to Refresh the Test Environment

1. Ensure Baan and SQL Server are stopped

2. Use BackupExec to perform a file restore of d:\baan from the live system to d:\baan.new
3. Use BackupExec to perform a file restore of the nightly sql server file backup (normally file
e:\mysql\sql backup\baandb\baandb_db_*.bak on the live server)
4. Rename d:\baan.new to d:\baan
5. Create subdirectory d:\baan\tmp
6. Move all *.bwc files for d:\baan\lib\user to d:\baan\lib\user\restored so as not to cause confusion
7. Ensure d:\baan\lib\license6.1 points to a valid license server
8. Start SQL Server
9. Use Enterprise Manager to perform a database restore of baandb, by loading the SQL backup
restored from tape in step 3.
10. Start Query Analyser, run the following query to check for orphaned users
use baandb
sp_change_users_login ‘Report’
This should give some errors
11. Re-link baan login with baan database user and reset the database owner.
use baandb
sp_change_users_login ‘update_one’, ‘baan’, ‘baan’
sp_changedbowner ‘baandb’
as per Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 314546, 274188 and 307775
12. Start Query Analyser, run the following query to check for orphaned users
use baandb
sp_change_users_login ‘Report’
There should be no errors now.
13. Start Baan
14. Using BECS create new bwc file, with the following details:
Hostname: colts017
Current User: unchecked
Connect As: baan
Save Password: unchecked
Method: Rexec
Portnumber: 512
BSE: d:\baan
Bshell name: bshell
Command:
15. Connect to Baan
16. You should now have a working test system
